A Large MouthfuI.

As so much Is being said, just now,
ebout the swallowing of Canada by the
American eagle, IL ought to be OF in
terest TO come at fair idea as to the
size Of the mouthful that the proud bird
of the Republic will have TO make
away with. The Dominion Of Canada
is half-independent confederation
composed of the provinces of Ontario,
Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia,
Manitoba, British Columbia, and OF
the northwestern territories. Its total
area is 3,S72, 200 square miles, or some
$50, 900 more than that of the United
States and its territories. The present
confederation was founded in 1857
Executive power is vested in a gov
ernOr-general, appointed by the British
government, who exercises authority
in the name of the Queen. He chooses
q privy council and removes the same
with the concurrence of the house OF
commons. The command of the mill
tary and naval forces is vested in the
Queen. Legislative power is given to
two houses; a senate appointed by the
governor-general on the recommends
ton of the privy council, and house
of commons. A senator must own
freehold and personal property worth
$4 900. His official tenure is for life,
unless. abrogated by loss of property OF
through conviction of an Infamous
crime. The senate is composed OF "a
members, appointed as equitably as
possible among the different provinces
The house of commons is a body I'll
persons, elected for five years. The
legislative powers of this body are very
large. In 1884 the debt of the confed.
Grafton was $242, ,4S2, 900, about $140,-
900, 900 of which was on account of the
Canadian Pacific railroad. The mer'
chant marine of Canada ranks as the
fourth largest in the world, having, in
1881, 1893 bottoms with a register of l..
310,0 tons. In 1881 the population
was 4,324,970; value of manufacturing
plants, $l65, ,3O2, 1923; of products, $780,
676, 900, and the number of persons
employed in factories, 254, 1886. The
active infantry of the Dominion is 36,
600 men, commanded by British
regular officer. The term of service o.
the infantry is three years and IL days
annual drill in brigade camp is exacted
OF course the eagle could carry OF
Canada if Canada were only to be deal
with. But John Bull would have to be
looked after too, as well as the riva
assistant presidents of the United State!

TO COME WEST.
The President and Mrs. Cleveland
Soon to Make the Journey.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-There are
intimations coming from high official
quarters that President Cleveland really
intends to stand by that portion of his
letter of acceptance which states that
he would serve but one term. 1t is be-
lieved that the President has discussed
this matter with some of his close party
friends, and there ought not to be'any
surprise in case he verifies the state
ments made by Smith M. Weed and
Congressman Spriggs, to the effect that
he will give letter to the public before
long stating that he intends to close his
official career with his present term.
Such was undoubtedly his Intention
when he wrote his letter of acceptance,
but other Presidents have said sub
stantially the same thing and changed
their minds before the expiration OF
their terms.
It is understood that the President
and Mrs. Cleveland will make several
Journeys to different parts of the coun-
try after the adjournment of Congress
Probably one of these trips will extend
to the south and another to the west
perhaps as far as California. They will
spend month as usual at the Adiron
dacks. In these journeys the President
will be able to judge something ofthe
sentiment of the Democracy from 9
personal observation, and they will
probably influence him to a large ex
tent In his determination about re
nomination.

A NEW CABINET OFFICER.
The Department of Agriculture and
Labor Likely to be Created.

WASHINGTON, Feb. PA new cabi-
net officer and a transfer of the signal
service to the civil branch of the gov
eminent seems more imminent than
generally presumed. It is commonly
Conceded that a conference will manage
to get through the bill making cabi-
net department of agriculture and labor
and attaching the signal service bureau
toit. Mr.. Hatch, of Missouri, is the
father of this bubcomb measure, which
the Senate adopted with the civil
service amendment. but it is not
likely that the present commissioner,
MFR, Coleman, can lbe set aside for
MFR, Hatch. This may cause the fail
ure of Captain Greeley's promotion and
appointment as General Hazen's sue
cessor. Mrs. Pavy, of Cincinnati, wife
of the Greeley relief party's surgeon,
will on Saturday appear before the
committee to defeat Greeley, but her
grounds are the old threshed-over
stories of harsh treatment on the ex-
pedition, and she will scarcely succeed.
But If this bill becomes law the OBJ
lection of army men to Greeley's rapid
promotion may result in failure to
bass on his name the final selection of a
scientist to be at the head of the me-
teorological bureau.

POultry-a Bit Of Advice.

Please allow me to say few words to
our farmer friends through the col
umns Of The Fdrner, and II they de-
rive no benefit from my rambles / will
never again trespass on your valuable
space.
A short trip out through the country,
and look at the poultry to be found
roaming around the farmers doorstep
and barn, will furnish ample food for
thought for almost any festive fancier
or lover of thoroughbred poultry.
Poultry, probably, is the least thought
or taken care of by the farmer of any
stock on the farm, and yet 1t should
not be. for there is nothing on the farm
that will pay bigger dividend for the
amount invested, If properly lakeh
care of.
The care OF fowls on farm generally,
falls TO the lot of the farmers vile, ana
she does the best she can with such
stock and appliances as are allowed
her. Now IL her husband would SIT
down and do little figuring, l think
by next fall there would be vast inn
provement in her fowls, and better
winter quarters furnished them. AS
they now stand, at market price (six
cents per pound, live weight), there Is
hardly pair on the farm that would
bring over 40 cents. Now suppose he
should pick out the largest and
squarest pullets of this seasons hatch,
and invest 50 or So In a Plymouth
Rock, Leghorn or Wyandotte cockerel,
weighing from to 10 pounds, TO mate
with said pullets; next fall their would
be a gain of 2 or pounds to each fowl
lover the ordinary barnyard fowl), and
if he had a flock of 100 he would have q
net gain of SIS, and flock of chickens
that would improve the looks of the
farm.
The same improvement in his turkey:
would still increase his gain. AS II
now is, the ordinary turkey to be found
on most farms will not dress over 10 to
12 pounds, and by investing a few dol
lars for a bronze Tom it would increase
the weight of his turkeys from 8 to
pounds, or net gain of from 40 to 6(
cents per turkey, and If he raised 81
turkeys q season, he would have q gair
of 500 to $50 over that of previous
years.
Now, any reasonable farmer can SEE
the benefit to be derived from intro
ducing thoroughbred stock among hi.
mongrels, and we predict that after hi
has once made the experiment not
many seasons will elapse before hi
farm will be stocked with thorough
bred stock, and the housewife will
point with pride to her fowls and thei
winter quarters, and thank The Farm.
er for its aid in bringing to their knowl
edge the above facts. ..... H.

The Constitution of Delaware REQUIRE

The Constitution of Delaware requires
that State Senator must be possessed
Of 81 900 sterling, or freehold estate in
200 acres of land. This qualification is
not a dead letter, either. The Bayard
faction has found an intruder in the
State Senate who cannot measure up to
the constitutional requirement, and the
scalp of that statesman Is in demand.
Delaware is In the United States OF
America. Cdld,DeN Journal.
Rhode Island will not permit a nat
uralized citizen to even vote save hold
office. unless he is worth 1924 in real
estate. This is no dead letter either
and Rhode Island is In the United

Representative Little of Ohio is the
author of the proposed constitutional
amendments for the election of the
United States Senators by the direct
vote of the people of the State. For
merly Attorney General of Ohio, he is
among those in Congress about the least
likely to blunder in such matter. We
commend to our obstructive friends of
the Tribune Mr.. Littlc's statement 'oi
his reasons for proposing the change,
among which are the following: N
The present method of election is
founded upon q distrust of the people
which our history shows to be unwar-
ranted. Tlfe argument that if the
principal cannot be trusted the agent
cannot has no answer III this case; but
the converse is not true.
There is a strong reason aside fol
this change. Of course, refer to the
power and use of money. 1t, in notable
instances In our recent history, has
determined the election of Senators. ]
do not care to elaborate on this. The
subject is in every mind. 1t is also in
everybody's knowledge how difficult
not to say impossible, it is under the
present system to apply the corrective,
The popular election would bea long
step in that direction, in my opinion.
The election of United States Sena
tors by popular vote will be reform in
the interest of the purity of elections as
we'll as of the fair representation o
States in the Senate.-N. Y Star.

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 29.-The decis-
ion of the Supreme Court in the Smith
Robertson injunction case was handed
down to-day at o'clock. All the
judges held that the suit was brought
in the wrong county. That no proper
case was shown Tor restraining order
against Robertson. Mitchell holds,
however, that if the suit had been prop
erly brought the court would have been
justified in holding that there was no
vacancy in the Lieutenant Governors
office and the election was invalid.
Judge Hank.concurs in this opinion.
Niblack and collars in separate opin-
ions hold that neither the circuit court
nor this one has any jurisdiction over
the subject matter, that oil jurisdiction
over contests concerning the Office of
Governor and Lieutenant Governor
has been conferred by the constitu-
ton upon the Legislature, and no court
has the right to determine whether
anybody has or has not been elected to
these offices. The opinions reverse the
decision of the circuit court.

practically settles the case in favor of
